TV news employee in LA has $266M winning ticket

The big news for KNBC worker Jacki Wells Cisneros broke right inside her own newsroom — she and her husband won the $266 million Mega Millions jackpot.

She told the Los Angeles TV station in an interview Wednesday night that she discovered during her usual routine on the assignment desk very early that morning that the winning ticket had been purchased at the Pico Rivera Hawaiian restaurant.

Cisneros quickly realized that that was where her newly unemployed husband Gilbert Cisneros had bought a lottery ticket.
